Spiraling out of control chapter 13
Ahsoka knew there was only one way to keep from being taken back to the temple and that was to flee the other Jedi. But Ahsoka didn't think Shaak would give up that easily, in the back of Ahsoka's mind she thought of how many time Shaak had tried to convince her that her master was gone and that she needed to move on.
This was a trick this had to be a trick, Ahsoka didn't think the Jedi would stoop so low to lie and trick one of their own but then she remembered when Obi-wan faked his dead and made Anakin believe he was dead. Anger flared up in the padawan and Ahsoka reached inside of her cloak that covered her now scared body thanks to the lightning that Dooku had struck her with.
"You're not taking me back" she spat as she pulled out her shoto lightsaber and a hilt from her other side. She didn't realize she had grabbed a hold of Dooku's lightsaber instead of Anakin's until she felt the curved hilt in her hand. It didn't matter though it would serve its purpose. She activated the yellowish green shoto blade and the crimson blade of Dooku's lightsaber. "I'm finding my master and you're not stopping me" Ahsoka snarled.
Shaak stepped back slightly, Ahsoka had just threatened her. A fellow Jedi threatening another, this had gotten way out of control and Shaak needed to calm Ahsoka down. Shaak then noticed the crimson blade Ahsoka was holding as her eyes traced the blade from the tip to the hilt she realized it Dooku's lightsaber. "You…you have Dooku's lightsaber" she said confused.
"I took it after I killed him on Serenno. Cad Bane was going to take my master to him so I killed Dooku before he could get to my master" Ahsoka replied now in a unnerving calm tone. The calmness in which Ahsoka spoke sent a shiver down the Jedi master's spine. Ahsoka a Jedi padawan killed Count Dooku, it just seemed impossible. Dooku was one of the most skilled duelist of his time.
When Ahsoka's first set of strikes came Shaak was taken by such surprise that she nearly missed being severed straight in half. The Jedi master jumped back and activated her lightsaber just in time to block vicious slashes from the Jedi padawan. Shaak deflected the strikes or dodged not striking out at the girl "Ahsoka stop what are you doing" Shaak yelled over the screams of people fleeing the sudden outbreak of violence.
Ahsoka let all of her pain, her sadness and anger out and channeled it into destroying the thing that seeked to keep her from finding her master. Her strikes became faster, more accurate and much more power. Each blow grew in speed and strength as Ahsoka rained down relentless blow after blow on the master Jedi.
Shaak staid on the defensive the entire time never striking at Ahsoka, she could understand her frustration even her anger to some degree but to attack another Jedi out of it was just unthinkable. Shaak could feel waves of emotions pouring off of Ahsoka and the speed and power of her strikes growing. Each block required more effort to deflect or redirect than the last and Shaak knew if Ahsoka didn't come down then she would be forced to wound the girl so she would stop.
"Ahsoka stop this isn't right! Please stop!" Shaak begged at their sabers were locked. "No, I'll find my master and since you stand in my way of doing so I'll kill you!" Ahsoka screamed ramping up the intensity of her strikes. Shaak gasped, how could Ahsoka just kill another Jedi, Shaak was only trying to help her.
Shaak continued to block the vicious assault while probing Ahsoka's with the force trying to find a weakness. When she found one she preformed a quick jab with her lightsaber cutting Ahsoka across the leg, not deeply as she didn't wish to harm the girl only get her to stop and calm down.
But alas it had to opposite effect that Shaak was hoping for. Ahsoka staggered back as the searing heat of Shaak's lightsaber cut her across the leg, she looked down at the wound and growled. Ahsoka looked back up and her ocean blue eyes became sickly yellow, she barred her teeth at the other Jedi and hurled herself at Shaak ti.
Another blue blade intercepted the yellowish green and crimson blade "Ahsoka stop this" Plo demanded. Ahsoka snarled "NO!" she screamed and attacked Plo viciously. Ahsoka could feel Mother Talzin's witch magic feeding her anger making it boil. Ahsoka took a hold of the accent magic and commanded the two green serpents to appear. The misty green serpents took form and attacked Master Shaak ti who soon found out her saber had not effect on them.
"You all left him there to die!" Ahsoka yelled as she continually attacked Master Plo. Her voice echoed off of the massive buildings that reach high into the sky. As each word she spoke grew darker so did the serpents speed and largeness in side. "We didn't leave him there Soka please calm down" Plo replied trying to fend off the attacks.
Plo Koon was also able to spot a weakness in Ahsoka's defensives and slashed upward cutting the power cell clean off of Ahsoka's shoto blade. Ahsoka jumped back to avoid being cut again and commanded on of the serpents to attack Plo Koon. Now Plo and Shaak were busy dodging the serpents which seemed to still be growing in size and speed making it harder for them to avoid.
Ahsoka reached into her cloak again and pulled out her master's light saber, she activated the blade and hurled herself at Shaak ti and Plo Koon who were now back to back. Once in the center of them Ahsoka summoned all of her power to build within her self as well as the Night Sister's magic. The serpents dissipated as the power was drawn into Ahsoka then erupted like a thermal detonator.
A wave of dark energy exploded around Ahsoka and green magic lightning exploded all around her, glass shattered from buildings and foundations cracked causing buildings to give away and crumble. Shaak and Plo Koon both threw up a force shield and were herald back. Both smashed into a building as it collapsed around them, they pulled up large pieces of rumble around them to keep from getting impaled by glass shards that flew through the sky. Then it stopped and Ahsoka fell to the ground body exhausted, every muscle in her body ached from exerting so much raw power. She didn't know how she had done it but what did matter what that Shaak and Plo where no where in sight now. Ahsoka stood up slowly on shaky legs and walked carefully down the ruble littered streets to find her master.
